Does the albert ross figure include two uniforms?
The 12-inch action figure made by Dragon that depicts a Lt. Albert Ross of the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment does appear to come with two uniforms---based on the images on various websites and eBay that have these for sale. One uniform includes the paratrooper jumpsuit and combat equipment. I don't think it includes a parachute. The other uniform is the dress tunic with overseas cap. He also comes with an Officer's leather jacket with the 506PIR emblem.
What does the D stand for in D-Day?
Although there are a lot of interesting theories (“departure,” “deliverance,” and “doom,” to name a few), it doesn't really stand for anything. The term "D-Day" has been used by the U.S. military since at least 1918 as an “alliterative placeholder” for the day an operation is supposed to take place. This means that although we use it to refer to the invasion of Normandy in World War II, there's actually been a lot of D-Days.
The term was part of a larger system for keeping track of dates: D-3, for example, means three days before D-Day, and D+3 means three days after.
Where can you get a Lego 82nd Airborne figure?
I'm afraid you can't get one, though, there is another option to consider, decals. All you have to do is find an 82nd Airborne decal, print it out (while making sure the back side of it can stick to the torso of the minifigure), put the decal on the minifig, and you're good. If you want, you can add Brickarms weapons to the minifig.

What were the American and German strategies on Omaha Beach?
The Americans/British/Canadians strategy was to get on the beach and hold on, pushing inland as fast as possible.
The German strategy was to keep them off and drive them back off if they managed to get on.
A key component on both sides was to control roads and bridges off the beach. The Germans wanted to blow them up to keep the Allies bottled up. The Allies wanted them to move troops out of the beach area and increase the ground they had to work with. At the same time the Allies wanted to blow up some bridges and rail lines to prevent German reinforcements from aiding the defense. Paratroopers were dropped to control certain bridges and major intersections, either destroying them or protecting them, depending on their location.
Answer
The US strategy for Omaha beach was significantly different from that used on the British and Canadian beaches. The plan was for the beach exits to be captured by direct assault. The British (and Germans) has discovered this to be extremely costly in lives in WW `. To avoid this they used Armoured engineer tanks (bridges, gap filling, mine clearance and bunker busting) to create pathways away from the main German defences. The US army failed to do this and many of the losses on Omaha were caused by this.
German strategy was a mixed one, that involved an arguement between the German generals. One group who had experienced allied air power believed all movement would be prevented by air attacks and all the force should be concentrated on the beaches. Another group believed that an armoured reserve should be held back to attack the landings at the critical point.
